presenters and longtime SoJuster, is taking preorders for her new book,*"The Seven Secrets of the Prolific: The Definitive Guide to Overcoming 
Procrastination, Perfectionism and Writer's Block."* Procrastination is 
disempowerment, and this book identifies the major forces that cause that 
disempowerment, including perfectionism, scarcity, internalized oppression, 
and exploitative career paths, and tells you how to overcome them. It's a 
great book for all writers and students, and anyone wishing to become more 
productive. She's offering 30%+ discounts for preorders (available in 
paperback or ebook). Mention SoJust when you order and she'll give us a 
donation. Preorder: http://igg.me/p/31389?a=167905&i=shlk Read sample 
chapters: http://hillaryrettig.com/the-7-secrets-of-the-prolific/.

*Socializing for Justice - www.sojust.org* 
Since 2006, we've been building this great sandbox where we can bring 
progressives of all stripes together and try out new ideas in this "Movement 
Moment". Spaces like this are crucial as we start to reframe and build new 
visions for our movement(s).

With over 1750 members and almost 5 years of creating a diverse cross-issue 
community in Boston (95+ events!), Socializing for Justice is the best place 
to find the great people, organizations and community you're looking for 
while putting the SOCIAL back in social justice.

*YES, WE MEAN YOU.* We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual 
orientations, levels of activism and professions. We hope you see someone 
like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.
